revolution, saying the defectors would not "wait to be consumed by
it."

that is happening in this country. The injustice in PDP is one reason
why we left the party to the APC. As you can see most of the people
here are PDP members that have played a great role in its development.

people of the state. This is why we want those in the PDP to know that
I hardly join a party that I know will not deliver. So by 2015 APC
